Just ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the Valley’s most popular fine-dining restauranteurs opened a little Italian spot in Longmeadow. Posto by The Federal is located in The Longmeadow Shops and serves “old-school new Italian” dishes. While Posto and The Federal share the same executive chef, Michael Presnal, Posto is more casual than the Agawam fine-dining destination.

Whereas The Federal does service with elegance on white lenient, Posto does service with elegance on newspaper tissue printed to look like vintage news articles. Since opening in October 2019, online reviews have praised Posto for cooking updated classics with fresh ingredients. The restaurant serves brick oven Neapolitan-style pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and desserts
